closed vacancy Senior Engineer - Embedded Rust - remote

Ockam is building SDKs for embedded systems and edge devices. The Ockam code base is polyglot and built in a highly modular architecture. We utilize Rust, C, and Elixir in our stack. You will be responsible for building core library components in the Ockam code base. Because of the broad-base of environments where the Ockam Embedded and Ockam Edge SDKs may be deployed in the field, you will build for ARM, RISC-V, AVR, verified/secure boot, cryptographic modules, and secure enclaves.
